Heather Lake is a lake in Sweet Grass County, Montana.
Heather Lake in Sweet Grass County is a lake in Montana and covers about 4.4 acres.
On a water as small as Heather Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Across the hard edge of a firm-bottom hump, fish listed for Heather Lake include Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.
Beside the outside edge of a deep bend, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
Around the shallow side of a channel turn, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
Around the soft edge of a flooded tree line, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
Along the inside edge of the first drop, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
